Right! My company switched from Slack to Teams and even though we recreated all our original channels, public discussion has all but died. Having to context switch between private messaging and public channels, even though it's just another tab, is apparently just too much friction.

Also opening docs and excel sheets inside the main window by default and blocking chat while doing it is absolutely atrocious.

Your last paragraph is a huge source of frustration for me. Such a boner move.

Swtiching windows in teams is slow, 20 years ago Microsoft knew the research on this and minimum viable response time. They ignore it and the predictable result is people don't take advantage of teams. It possibly could be good, but I want Skype back, it didn't do as much, but what it did it did well.
